The end or corner sections of the fence are connected to the posts A by means of the links E and the rings G, which engage the eyes of the eyebolts carried by the posts, as shown in Fig. 2.

The advantages of a fence which can be set u without the use of nails, nuts, or screws and without digging numerous post-holes are obvious. I

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A fence formed in comprising a horizontal members and a wire network, base -blocks adapted to receive the lower ends of two adjacent vertical members of the fencesections, means for locking adjacent sections together,

l corner-posts, and means for connecting en sections to said posts.

2. A fence of the kind described comprising a plurality of tubular frames, a wire network carried thereby, base-blocks recesse on their upper faces to receive the lower ends of adjacent frame members, a ring encircling said adjacent members, a link comprising a ring portion and a hook portion and adapted to connect the upper corner portions. of adjacent frames, posts, and means for connecting the end frames to the posts.

3. A fence formed in sections, each section comprising a frame of gas-pipe having a horizontal member and vertical end members, a wire network carried by the frame, diagonal braces arranged on the frame, and base-blocks recessed on their upper faces to receive the lower ends of the vertical members.
